Well all I'm one very happy camper...my Varanus tristis girl has just laid 13 beautiful white eggs !!! :)

While I miscalculated on when they were due, I was quite happy anyhow. Luckily also I'd just built the incubator today :)

Thought I'd share...

That's great Simon, a couple of weeks early :wink: It's great you were well prepared and ready. Congratulations!
 
Good stuff mate, how big do they get as adults?

Just so i know in case i want to buy some! :wink:
 
Congratulations Simon!
Are these the first monitors you have bred?

Look forward to seeing the hatchies.

Al,
They get to approx 70cm or so total length, SVL 20-30cm.

Neil,
Yes these are the first montiors I've bred...I was lucky enough to see the mating a few weeks back, unfortunately I missed the egg-laying last night. I look forward to seeing the hatchies too :)

Nice one! 13 eggs! That's awesome! More than twice the size of my biggest gilleni clutch!
*jealously*
;)
 
Haha Sdaji...I was stoked at the clutch size. I thought I'd be lucky to get 8-10 but what a ripper!!!!

Thanks for the reply Simon.

A bit large for my flat at the moment i think!!! Unless i convert the balcony to a cool pit!! (not likely, seeing as i rent)

Oh well, one day maybe.
 
Haha Al...not too big...I keep my pair comfortably in a 6x2x2 enclosure, but haven't seen the size of your place to comment.

Unfortunately they're an inland species mostly so can't be kept outdoors here...otherwise would make an awesome display animal for a pit...trouble is you'd never catch em :)
